OMAHA, Neb. -- Doug McDermott scored 20 points in 20 minutes to lead five players in double-figures as Creighton men's basketball opened up the 2013-14 season with a 107-61 win over Alcorn State on Friday night. The 107 points was tied for the eighth-most points in school history, and most ever in a season opener.

The game was played before a sellout crowd of 17,740, the largest season-opening crowd in program history and ninth-largest ever.

Alcorn State was paced by 16 points form Octavius Brown and Twann Oakley.

McDermott was honored prior to the game as Creighton's all-time leading scorer, then hit lay-ups on each of the first three possessions to spearhead a Bluejay offense that sank its first five shots. CU led 16-7 after a corner three-pointer by Ethan Wragge, only to have ASU rally to take a 23-22 lead at the midpoint of the first half.

The Jays would respond with a 12-0 burst, getting four points each from McDermott and Artino, and would not be threatened again. CU led 52-33 at the break, led by 18 points from McDermott.

A halfitme pep talk helped Creighton clamp down defensively in the second stanza, which saw the Jays outscore the Braves 25-4 in the first 9:32. Key in the burst was a 16-0 run capped by a Zach Hanson hoop inside that made it 77-40.

Creighton broke the 100-point milestone on a Brooks free throw with 2:29 left. The Bluejay lead would reach as large as 51 points on two occasions before settling for the 107-61 margin.

Creighton shot 55.6 percent from the field, including 11-of-24 from downtown and 26-of-36 at the line. CU won the rebound battle 45-26 and owned 25 assists on 35 baskets while owning just six turnovers. The Bluejays outscored the ASU bench 54-16, 33-2 off turnovers and 17-2 on the break.
